In a report titled Kenyan Startup Ecosystem Report 2022, Disrupt Africa ranked Kenya second to Nigeria.

Nairobi was praised for being the home of creative start-ups and was also named the top hub of Africa’s technology, with 97.4% of startups tracked.

“Kenya has a well-established reputation as a pioneer in Africa’s tech space, but its journey has been far from smooth,” Disrupt Africa co-founder Gabriella Mulligan said.

“Kenya is the leading hub for technology startups in Eastern Africa and holds exciting opportunities for the future.” Newtown Partners managing partner Llew Claasen added.
